Simple JBOD only HBA, no fakeRAID.  Uses a Marvell 88SE6480 chip, 8
SAS/SATA ports via two SFF8087.  $110 USD.  I've heard minor rumblings
WRT the mvsas driver though I don't recall specifics.  The board itself
is good quality, as with most things SuperMicro.

MINOR!??? I've had this card for 1.5 years, it still not usable (as far
as I can discern) as of 2.6.38. Do NOT buy it. Please stop recommending
this card for Linux use unless it's to your enemies.

Now you get the idea Mikal.  ;) If the OP is so convinced that LSI
sucks, with ample evidence to the contrary, let him try something that
*everyone* knows sucks.
